00:47To be part of the show at home, go to the ABC TV iView Socials
00:53Let's say hello
00:54G'day Rachel
00:55Hi Tom
00:56Now your expert subject is Below Deck, it's a reality show
01:00It is
01:00How would you describe it?
01:02It's a fantastic show that just focuses on the trials and tribulations of working on superyachts for the rich and
01:09famous
01:10And so you've watched every single episode?
01:12More than once
01:13Oh, okay
01:14There's many seasons
01:17Was there any more depth to it that was, that you got from a second viewing?
01:21I feel like you would have understood everything on the first viewing
01:24No, there's cinematic depth in the re-watching
01:27Just understanding the people and their characters
01:29Okay Rachel, I think you're full of shit
01:33Now the charter guests pay half the normal price of renting the yacht due to the filming during their stay
01:39But then they look like drunken arseholes for the rest of society
01:43Is it worth it for the bargain do you think?
01:45Absolutely not, it looks terrible
01:47Okay
01:48So you would never be a guest on this show?
01:50No
01:50But you'd hate to make a fool of yourself on national TV
01:55Now you told us that you have such a long tailbone, you basically have a tail
02:01So do you have a tail?
02:03Uh, no, ish
02:04Okay, alright
02:07When you get a question right, will it wag?
02:11Renee!
02:12G'day Tom
02:12Now you're into Buddy Holly
02:14I am
02:14Now do you think nothing's better has come along in the music scene?
02:17Or did you just stop looking after 1959?
02:20No, I like lots of music
02:22But yeah, I've always liked Buddy Holly since I was very young
02:25So I've always followed his career
02:27He died just after you were born, is that right?
02:30He died just before I was born
02:32Just before you were born
02:32I must be his reincarnation
02:34Alright
02:36I've got glasses
02:38Yeah, I don't know, I feel like Buddy Holly would have been a bit more exciting
02:44Now you met the guy who played Buddy Holly in the stage show
02:47I did, I did
02:48Which one is he?
02:51Can't tell a part
02:52No, he's the one on the right
02:54Alright, you sure he wasn't being Austin Powers?
02:58Charlie
02:59Hi Tom
02:59Now you got into Anne Boleyn after recognising her from a dream
03:03That's correct, yeah
03:05What happened?
03:08So I was about 10 years old staying in London near the Tower of London
03:12And during the night Anne visited me in a dream
03:16I was working a fish and ship shop
03:18And she asked for battered flake
03:21I said
03:22I said there wasn't any
03:24And then she sort of started singing these incantations
03:27Sort of screaming
03:28And it was very affecting
03:29And then, yeah
03:30That was
03:32Over 10 years ago now
03:33Wow
03:40And do your parents mind that you started taking drugs at 10?
03:46I think they, yeah
03:47They never really expected that much of me
03:49So
03:50Okay
03:52Have you been haunted by any of other Henry VIII's wives?
03:55No, just Anne
03:55Yeah
03:57Anne-Marie!
03:58Hi Tom
03:59Alright, why do you like the Australian Census?
04:03Data makes the world go round
04:04Without data, we know nothing
04:07Because you just love data?
04:08I do love data
04:09Self-confessed data nerd
04:10Now you work for the Bureau of Statistics
04:12I do
04:13Do you walk into any room and just immediately start counting people?
04:17No, but I do listen to conversations
04:20And start working out how I can put statistics into it
04:22Oh
04:22Like right now, Romsey
04:24There's just over 800 people aged 50 to 54
04:27And you fit into that category
04:28Oh
04:35I live in Romsey for those playing at home
04:37Just in case you didn't really know
04:38For context, it's a shithole
04:42Did you apply for this show just so you could fill out the entry form?
04:47I love the entry form
04:48I'm just thinking you love ticking boxes
04:49I do, I do
04:51We must have met before
04:52Because, yeah, I love surveys
04:54I love ticking boxes
04:56Doesn't everybody
04:57Isn't that normal?
05:02Now you're a member of the Queensland Social Nudists
05:05I am
05:06What do the Queensland Social Nudists get up to?
05:08We do nude bowling
05:11Do body colour
05:13Okay, when you're doing nude bowling
05:14Like when you're talking about lawn bowls, yeah?
05:16No, no, no
05:16Bowling alley
05:17Like temping bowling
05:22Some of your older members
05:23When they go down low to like
05:27Is there a bit of drag?
05:29You've got to just want to
05:30Do you have to put talcum powder on the bloody alley?
05:32All right, let's play
05:34Hug!
05:36Expert round
05:37Expert subject
05:39Win or lose five points
05:40Steal and answer
05:42Double points
05:43I'll ask each of you five questions on your expert subject
05:46Right, you get five points
05:47Wrong
05:47I will take five points from you
05:49The rest of you can steal at any time to get double points
05:51Let's start with Anne-Marie
05:53And her expert subject
05:54The Australian Census
05:55Check out this ABC News clip from 1991
06:03Hello, Australian Census
06:05May I come aboard and talk to you about the Census on Tuesday night?
06:09Every five years the Census attempts to count everyone in Australia
06:12Including rough sleepers, members of remote communities
06:15And expeditioners in which icy territory?
06:18To the Steelers, Charlie
06:19Antarctica
06:20Correct
06:21Double points to you
06:26The Census was updated to include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people following
06:30a referendum in which decade?
06:32Anne-Marie
06:32The 70s
06:34Incorrect
06:35It's wide open
06:35Renee for the Steel
06:36The 60s
06:38Correct
06:38Yeah, it was 1967
06:45That was the good old days when we used to say yes
06:50Here's Bill Shorten in 2016
06:52This is the worst run Census Australia has ever seen
06:57On Census night, the website was shut down for 40 hours after it was targeted by what kind of cyber
07:03attack?
07:04Anne-Marie
07:05Oh Jesus
07:09That was attempted to be hacked
07:13Incorrect, it's wide open
07:15Wide open to interference
07:18Wide open
07:20Time's up
07:22Distributed denial of service
07:24DDOS
07:25Yes
07:26In 2024, the government reversed its previous decision and announced that new questions would be added to the 2026 census
07:32on what topic?
07:34Anne-Marie
07:55Anne-Marie
07:55Dead eyes
07:55Correct
07:59Next set of questions is for Charlie on Anne Boleyn
08:05When King Henry VIII met and fell in love with Anne Boleyn, he was married to which queen?
08:10Charlie
08:10Catherine of Aragon
08:11Correct
08:16Anne favoured religious reform, owning a personalised copy of the first printed English language translation of which sacred text?
08:23Who's the stealer today?
08:25The Bible
08:25Correct
08:27Double points to you
08:30Yeah, the Christian Bible at the time was typically printed in Latin and Greek and it was actually illegal to
08:36own a copy in English
08:38Yeah, so the word of God is obviously Latin or Greek, uh, not English, that'd be ridiculous
08:44And that's the last time you'll do a stupid reaction like that again
08:50If you find something funny, laugh, if you don't, don't laugh
08:53None of this woooooo
08:54If you want to do that, f*** off to tipping point
09:00Loosely based on Anne and her sister Mary, the novel The Other Boleyn Girl was adapted for cinema
09:05With Anne portrayed by which actor?
09:08Charlie
09:08Natalie Portman
09:09Correct
09:13Yeah, Mary had been Henry's mistress before Anne came along
09:17But sloppy seconds are okay if they're royal
09:21Anne was accused of adultery and executed for treason
09:24With her ghost later said to have been seen running, screaming through Windsor Castle carrying what?
09:30Anne Marie for the steal?
09:31Her head
09:32Correct
09:33Double points to you
09:38Last question in your set, Charlie
09:41Anne's daughter, Queen Elizabeth I, is thought to have worn a portrait of her mother concealed in what jewellery?
09:47Charlie
09:48A ring
09:50Correct
09:55Yeah, it was a gift from the Earl of Angus and Coot
10:00Okay, time now for Renee and Buddy Holly
10:03Have a listen to this
10:10In the song Heartbeat, Buddy Holly asks why his heart skips a beat when what happens?
10:16Renee
10:17When my baby kisses me
10:18Buddy
10:22Buddy proposed to his wife Maria Elena Santiago on their first date after running out of the restaurant and returning
10:28with what flower?
10:33It's wide open
10:34I can't remember
10:37Time's up
10:38A rose
10:40To London
10:41Yeah, she accepted on condition that Holly confront his manager about his unpaid royalties
10:47It's good to see it was all just about love
10:51After having the caps on his front teeth knocked off in a fight with his bass player before a show
10:56in London
10:56Holly hid the damage with what confectionary?
10:59Renee
11:00Chewing gum
11:01Correct
11:05The fight was over the bass player smoking a cigar in the dressing room
11:08Oh wow, they're just so rock and roll
11:10I mean you've got rolling songs and you're like
11:14Oh my god
11:22Then you've got Buddy Holly in the creek and it's like, oh could you take that outside?
11:25Hold on
11:29The song that launched Holly's career, That'll Be The Day, got its name from a line spoken by John Wayne
11:34in which classic western?
11:35Who the Steelers, Charlie?
11:36The Searchers
11:38Correct!
11:39Double points to you
11:44Last question in your set Renee
11:46Holly's death in a plane crash at age 22 was immortalised in which hit Don McLean's song?
11:52Rene
11:52American Pie
11:53Correct!
11:58Alright, last set in the expert round it's Rachel and below deck
12:06Joining the show in season 1 and staying for 10 years, Captain Lee Rossback is affectionately nicknamed stud of the
12:13what?
12:14Rachel
12:14C
12:15Correct!
12:19With nowhere to hide from filming, the yacht crew are told that a camera will follow them if more than
12:25one person enters which room?
12:27Who the Steelers, Charlie?
12:29The cockpit?
12:31Incorrect
12:31Rachel?
12:32The bathroom?
12:34Correct!
12:37Crew members are also prohibited from listening to music, even with headphones, in case it prevents them from having any
12:43juicy conversations.
12:45So is it a lot of it kind of fly on the wall?
12:48Yeah, they don't interact with the production crew at all.
12:51Me neither!
12:57In season 2, Chief Steward Kate gets back at a rude guess by folding his blanket into...
13:03Rachel?
13:04She calls it a spaceship, but it looks like a penis.
13:09Correct!
13:15One of the series' many spin-offs, the first season of Below Deck Down Under, follows a super yacht taking
13:20guests along which reef system?
13:22Rachel?
13:23The Great Barrier Reef.
13:23Correct!
13:27Last question in your set, Rachel?
13:29Crew members are tasked with setting up the toys for guests, including a water trampoline, jet skis and a giant
13:35inflatable version...
13:36Rachel?
13:37Slide!
13:39Correct!
13:41Giant inflatable version of what playground equipment?
13:44Slide is correct.
13:45Yeah, it's so heavy it often takes hours and multiple crew members to set up and usually the guests are
13:49only on it for a couple of seconds.
13:51And they like whinging about it too, don't they, the crew?
13:53They do, they hate the slide.
13:54Yeah, our crew whinges as well, don't they?
14:00Five from five!
14:06Alright, we've cycled through this, so just now let's cycle through mine!
14:10Tom's round.
14:11Tom's subject, multiple choice.

16:42E. William Shakespeare.
16:43E. William Shakespeare.
16:56K. Daniel Samu.
16:59it correctly. Were you put off by wearing clothes? No, it's half and half. I just thought you might have
17:08felt a bit uptight because you're like a bit restricted. Nah. You can go backstage and unwind.
17:22All right. It's a people's round. The people's round against the clock. Unlock your balls, play along at home. Your
17:30time starts now. A song by MC Hammer is you can't touch what? Renee? This. Yes. Who is the host
17:37of RuPaul's Drag Race? Rachel? RuPaul? Yes. A standard round of golf is played over
17:43how many holes? Renee? 18. Yes. In the Mario Brothers franchise, Peach has what royal title? Rachel? Princess? Yes. Water

18:02the last czar of which
18:03country? Renee? Russia? Yes. Truss is a variety of what red fruit? Rachel? Tomato? Yes. Time's up.
18:14All right. All right. At the end of the people's round. Charlie, you're at the bottom
18:17of 130. Get over here. Charlie, I'm worried that Anne Boleyn's going to visit you in a dream
18:27tonight and say, you suck. What else do you think she might say? That I fail to execute.
18:36All right. All right. There he goes. All right. Only two left. Who's going to be the hard
18:47quiz champion? Renee and Rachel, get over here because it's time to play hard quiz.
18:52Final round. Head to head. Buddy Holly versus Below Deck. Hard with you. Now, there can only be one hard
19:00quiz champion. He gets to take home the limited edition big brass mug. What will you do with
19:04the mug if you win, Rachel? Well, Captain Lee, he's got a very strong aesthetic where he wears
19:10lots of gold chains and necklaces and bracelets. So I'm going to melt it down and emulate my style
19:15icon. Turn it into chains.
19:21What about you, Renee? I suspect it's something sensible.
19:25Well, I've been known to do a bit of singing on cruise ships and amateurish, but always got
19:30a good reaction from the audience. I'm going to use it as a tip jar.
19:33Oh. Okay. The festive five penalty should ask our harder questions on your expert subject.
19:39So it's Rachel's knowledge of Below Deck versus Renee's knowledge of Buddy Holly. Let's play.
19:45Hard!
19:48Rachel, in a Below Deck Mediterranean after-show interview, the crew react to Chef Mila doing
19:57one unusual thing to a raw steak before cooking it and serving it to guests.
20:02Before cooking it. I know she was known to microwave the steaks before serving them because
20:08they got too cold. But, oh, she washed them. Yeah.
20:18The correct answer is she licked it. Oh!
20:24I'm starting to think that she may not be a chef.
20:29Renee, Buddy Holly's hit song Peggy Sue was originally titled Cindy Lou, with Holly changing the name
20:37as a favour to who. Okay. So it was one of the band members whose girlfriend was Peggy Sue. And
20:46so
20:47the band member that it was, um, Jerry Allison.
20:53Yes. Correct.
20:59Yeah, you're right. Jerry Allison's the drummer. And, uh, he just split up with Peggy Sue and
21:03he wanted to win it back. Marty!
21:09Rachel, here are some boats. Each boat represents one of the Below Deck's many seasons based on
21:16its primary filming location. Please place them in the water in season order from earliest to latest.
21:25Yep. Okay. Maybe talk us through what you're thinking. Um, so, I know Tahiti is, was quite a dramatic season
21:34and it's about season four or season five. Come, put them in the water. It's not a bloody...
21:39Oh, I'm just...
21:42It's... It's not a f***ing helicopter.
21:48Um, Thailand's more recent.
21:52British Virgin Islands was an earlier season. I think they start in the Bahamas.
22:01And St Lucia, I think does go...
22:09I'm gonna lock that in. We don't lock things in on this show.
22:16That show has been axed.
22:21Incorrect.
22:24You, you, you were close, but yeah, it actually started with the British Virgin Islands.
22:29That's where it started. In the water too, not up here.
22:33Then it was the Bahamas. You were right with Tahiti being the middle, but then it was Thailand and
22:39St Lucia was last.
22:42So that's what it should have been.
22:43So when I said you were close, you were completely wrong.
22:45That's what it should have been.
22:53That's what it should have been.
22:54Buddy!
22:55Renee, Buddy Holly was told not to play Oh Boy on The Ed Sullivan Show, as Ed thought it was
23:02a bit too raunchy.
23:04When Holly insisted, Ed got payback by mispronouncing his name, then ordering what two things to happen?
23:11Ed Sullivan was well known for not liking rock and rollers. I think one of the things was that he
23:20plugged his electric guitar in, and I think the other one was that I just turned around.
23:30Incorrect. Now the correct answer is he turned down Buddy Holly's amp, turned the volume down,
23:36and he messed with the lights. Rachel, in a season six episode, a crew member carries and drops a guest,
23:45and another guest steps on broken glass, leading Chief Steward Kate to say flesh wounds are what?
23:55Um, it was actually a little kid that got, that stepped on the glass, and it was awful,
24:00it was a really bad episode, but she says flesh wounds are not five stars.
24:07Correct!
24:13Marty?
24:18Renee, Buddy Holly has lost his glasses. Put his iconic pair of Faosa specs back on his face.
24:28Let's have a look. I know that picture pretty well. Of course, that was a picture of a record he
24:32made
24:33without his glasses. Um, it wasn't a top one. Wrong shape. The eyes, wrong shape. Too rounded.
24:43This wasn't number D, that's for sure. Uh, it wasn't F, because it wasn't pink on there.
24:49So, I'm thinking it's probably either. No one see either, I don't think. I'm gonna go for this one.
25:09Incorrect.
25:12The correct answer were these very different looking ones.
25:17Oh. What's the saying? Yeah.
25:21There is actual glasses, yeah. Yeah.
25:23Oh, well, that'll be the day. Yeah.
25:28Alright, Marty.
25:31Rachel, news footage of Captain Jason crashing a superyacht into a Cairns marina
25:37is used in the first episode of Below Deck Down Under. To emphasise the importance of what boat device?
25:46I don't think it's the thrusts, the bow thrusters, which they use to move sideways.
25:53I feel like it's the brakes.
25:55But I don't know what that's called on a boat. Um, I, I'm just gonna say the thrusters.
26:07More information?
26:08I'm gonna say bow thrusters.
26:12Correct.
26:15Uh, you know how you're saying you don't know what the brakes are called?
26:23That's because there aren't any.
26:27Rene, Buddy was killed midway through the winter dance party tour, which he only agreed to do
26:33because he was broke. During the tour, the musicians endured numerous hardships,
26:38including Holly's drummer being hospitalised. For what reason?
26:43Yes, I remember the, um, reading that story. Obviously they travelled many miles, often 350,
26:49400 miles between gigs. And, uh, they used lots of clapped out buses.
26:54So, Carl Bunch, the drummer, was hospitalised for frostbite.
26:58These thugs.
26:59Correct.
27:04Yeah, after the crash, the remaining musicians were forced to continue the tour.
27:10Rachel, in the reunion episode for season six, Captain Lee said what onboard incident
27:16has never happened in his career before and hopefully will never happen again?
27:21Um, so this was the season in Tahiti where, um, they were towing the
27:27tender behind the boat and Ashton got caught up in the tender line and got pulled into the water.
27:35Um, and fortunately he was able to be, the, the rope was untied before it tensioned,
27:42um, which would have been pretty bad.
27:45Correct.
27:52Rene, you need this to stay in. If you get this wrong,
27:54then Rachel, you're tonight's hard quiz champion.
27:55Rene, in Buddy, the definitive biography, Holly's wife, Maria Elena, says that he would often call
28:03her before going on stage, getting Richie Valens to hold up the phone so she could hear him play what
28:09song?
28:10Yeah, so it was even very famous, the very last concert that he had,
28:14and, uh, it was very well known that he quite often did that, and he played the song True Love
28:19Waves.
28:21Correct.
28:25Let's move on to the tiebreakers.
28:30Rachel, when investment banker guest Crystal drinks too much and covers herself in a blanket,
28:36steward Josiah says she's wrapped herself in like some sort of what?
28:41Oh, I think this was before, before she tried to throw punches at her friend, um,
28:49she's wrapped herself up, I think it's in a cocoon.
28:56Incorrect.
28:59The correct answer is shame cocoon.
29:03Yeah, when the guest refuses to sleep in a bedroom, Chief Stu Kate says, get the hose out.

29:14Renee, after somehow getting into the recording studio, what creature can be heard in the final
29:19seconds of I'm gonna love you too?
29:23Yep, this is kind of a well-known story, um, what they heard in the background was a cricket.
29:29Correct, which means we are tonight's hard quiz champion!
29:32All right, Rachel, you know what this means.
29:34Go!
29:35There she goes.
29:42Congratulations, Renee, you are tonight's hard quiz champion.
29:45At the end you get the big brass mug, and you get to do the side-off.
